Situated in Vilanculos, Mozambique. Vilanculos lies approximately 700 km north of Maputo. The town, with friendly people, offers the perfect base from which to explore the picturesque Bazaruto Archipelago. There is an abundance of bird species; including the crab plover, as well as olive bee-eater, that tunnels its nest into the sand dunes. Large flocks of migrant waders visit the fertile mudflats, from September to April. The nomadic Greater Flamingo also arrive around mid-October. Vilanculos Beach Lodge is constructed from natural indigenous elements of thatch, as well as local hardwood timber poles. These are combined, in perfect harmony with plaster walls, wood frame doors, as well as windows. The property extends right on to the beach. The lodge buildings are about 100m up the ridge, overlooking the sea.
